OEM JV and Cashmere strap
I say those two straps are 'essential' to your watch. Panerai hit a home run with those two straps IMHO. The way the JV and Cashmere ages over time is an enjoyable process. My JV has aged with 1 year of constant wear that it now comes with a very nice 'patina' - a darker and richer tone.
Unfortunately photobucket is down ATM, otherwise I'd have loved to share some pix with you.
Get them both, please 
Need help with strap choice
Hey guys, I'm about to purchase my first Panerai (pam 233). I am debating between the oem JV and cashmere strap. What do you guys think? Pics would be very helpful. Any other oem strap colors I should consider with the 233? Thanks for the help....
Wow the sky is the limit.
Pre Congrats. Now you are about to enter the "Strap Zone". Change straps like you change moods but I like most here experiment with various straps by wearing them for a while but in the end usually settle on one. But I know a lot o other that change with ...
Thanks; question for you Bill
It seems your wrist is on the smaller side. Do you find the 233 pretty comfortable. I am asking cause my wrist looks about your size. Thanks.
Very comfortable
Yes I am on the slim side and I even wear the PAM 187 47mm sub. No problem. Go for it. Bill
Just took these tonight 45mm PAM 190
You be the judge. $$mm is no problem. I have my wife wearing 40mm Panerai and believe it or not 46mm Bell & Ross. $mm is an easy one. Do it..... Now.... Bill
Congrats
I happen to love the Tunnel strap that comes with the 233. You are going to love all of the strap choices available to you for that piece. Good luck!
If you frequently get your watches wet or play water sports
then I would highly suggest the newer styled Panerai rubber strap which sort of looks like the Seiko rubber accordian strap. Panerai's newer styled rubber strap is probably the best rubber strap I've ever worn on my wrist. Cheers, Anthony...
